Shaw--historian John Robert Greene has crafted a highly readable work on the history of Syracuse University. This volume, the fifth in the series, focuses on the administrations of John Corbally (1969-71) and Melvin A. Eggers (1971-91). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCorbally came into office during a sweeping national student revolt and the black power and civil rights movements.
